Skoda Cars India has been mandated within the VW Group which includes the other mass market brands like VW and Audi which are also in India to tap all newer markets in the developing world as the group's entry level marque.

This pleasant crossover has a wrap-around windscreen, coated windscreen side-pillars which in the automotive lexicon is termed the A-pillar and the characteristic roof covering which Skoda is noted for.

The Yeti car from Skoda india price would be just around Rs 10 lakh and will be launched in an auto show organized in Delhi, next January. Yeti would be assembled at the Aurangabad plant as a CKD operation, using kits shipped in from Skoda's Kvasiny plant in Czech Republic.
